Configuration Examples

Production Redis Setup

// Use dedicated Redis connection for metrics
'storage' => [
    'driver' => 'redis',
    'connection' => 'metrics', // Define in config/database.php
    'prefix' => 'queue_metrics',
    'ttl' => [
        'raw' => 1800,          // 30 minutes for high-volume
        'aggregated' => 604800, // 7 days
        'baseline' => 2592000,  // 30 days
    ],
],

// config/database.php
'redis' => [
    'metrics' => [
        'host' => env('REDIS_METRICS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'password' => env('REDIS_METRICS_PASSWORD', null),
        'port' => env('REDIS_METRICS_PORT', 6379),
        'database' => env('REDIS_METRICS_DB', 2),
    ],
],

Secure API Access

// Restrict metrics access by IP
'allowed_ips' => ['10.0.0.0/8', '172.16.0.0/12'],
